That worked perfectly.

This still chokes:

......
cdrecord: Found DVD media: using cdr_mdvd.
Using generic SCSI-3/mmc DVD-R(W) driver (mmc_mdvd).

cdrecord: WARNING: Data may not fit on current disk.
cdrecord: Notice: Most recorders cannot write CD's >= 90 minutes.
cdrecord: Notice: Use -ignsize option to allow >= 90 minutes.
cdrecord: Notice: Use -overburn option to write more than the official disk 
capacity.
cdrecord: Notice: Most CD-writers do overburning only on SAO or RAW mode.

From the man page:

 -ignsize
              Ignore  the known size of the medium. This option should be used
              with extreme care, it exists only for debugging  purposes  don’t
              use  it for other reasons.  It is not needed to write disks with
              more than the nominal capacity.  This option implies  -overburn.

so it doesn't sound as though that would be the solution.

In order to rule out some of the possible causes I did try to write a 
straightforward data dvd backup in k3b - something I do regularly on this 
workstation.  Both boxes have the same version of cdrecord.  On the box that 
I'm trying to backup I cannot get a dvd backup.  On this one there is no 
problem.  On the problematic one I keep seeing references to pread642(2)
